    Simple, complete and utter lack of accountability. If you can't fire the Civil Servants for incompetence, then they have no reason to even try and be competent at their jobs.

    Oh dear god, these poor deluded civil servants.. They've "asked" the builders not to be bold and by gumm they expect them to be... Can you imagine if a private trader (like me) tried the same stuff with the Revenue... it's an disgrace..

    Why didnt they just give the head of NAMA job to Pat Neary ffs..

    You can only hope. Until sufficient numbers of Irish people get sufficiently angry and refuse to pay to bail them out, we're all going to keep getting financially raped by them.

    Those builders and their wives need to have finacial pain inflicted on them, they deserve a severe bankrupting and then rinse every shilling out of the cu'nts. All of them photographed with Bertie Ahern, someone should get him prison cell.

    Who still believes that Fianna Failure were not looking after their developer paymasters?

    THIS is what happens when you vote for corrupt gombeens. Any chance the voters will learn their lesson?
    NO

    damn civil servants, putting the country in hoc.


    oh, wait...


    I dont think civil servants are naive, i do think some are afraid of their masters. course, new masters are on the way, so we'll see wht happens then.

    Overall, my impression is the NAMA employees have the same desire for revenge justice as the majority of the populace.

    What if 'someone' killed all of these guys wives?

    Presumably the assets would be returned to the developers and could not then be transfered again now that NAMA is in effect.

    Never mind me, just plantin' seeds here...

    Didnt see this yet but from reading this thread it will be some infuriating stuff. I particularly look forward to the smug teacher...


    Anyway I dispair, I really do...Newstalk has done a localised political survey today and finds that FF will be the second biggest party with forty-something seats, FG on 62....Un-f*ckin-believable! :eek::eek::eek:

    Actually you know what, it is very believable. You get the government you deserve. This country is inhabited by absolute morons and idiots. :mad:

    Im not sure, I would know most Kings of leons commercial hits but sure its possible its them.il definitly check it out!

    Thanks for the lead.

    BTW I study business and law and know of EXISTING legislation in this state that can legally stop the NAMA developers from transfering whatever to the wife, its one of the maxims of equity:

    Equity will not allow a statute to be used as a cloak for fraud

    Equity prevents a party from relying upon an absence of a statutory formality if to do so would be unconscionable and unfair.
